Minor Concentrations in Classics

MINOR CONCENTRATIONS IN CLASSICS

Current and prospective Classics minors are encouraged to consult early and often with the Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS), who serves as the key liaison between students and the rest of the University. The DUS also oversees honors and other aspects of the undergraduate program.

Students may earn a minor concentration in Latin or Greek, or classical studies. Each option allows students either to survey aspects of classical culture and traditions or to take a more focused cluster of courses. Unlike the Greek and Latin minors, the classical studies minor does not require study of an ancient language. Instead, it provides a framework for examining any aspect of Greek and Roman antiquity or its traditions and reception from medieval to contemporary culture. Students majoring in classics may also earn a minor in classical studies, provided they do not double-count courses toward both the major and the minor.
